I Just Can't Stay Inside All Day, I Gotta Get Out Get Me Some of Those Rays

To "say goodbye" to summer, the Carlsons took a trip to Eisenhower Park today on labor day. Our original plan was to go to the Bronx Zoo today, but rain was in the forecast so we decided to stay local (it didn't rain, by the way). It all worked out perfectly, we had a wonderful day at the park! It started out with a picnic and then we played on the picnic blanket. Matthew was trying to get to the grass which was pretty funny to watch. He is starting to really move around more, not quite crawling, but getting very close.

After our picnic lunch (of PJ &J sandwiches for Mommy and Daddy and a bottle for Matthew), we walked over to the playground. Matthew had been on swings before when we went camping in July, but now that he's  older, he loved them even more! The playground was pretty big, but many of things were for older kids, but we did find a plane that Matthew could sit at and drive. It was pretty fantastic. 

For dinner we (Rob and I) had turkey burgers. I ground some meat separately and crumbled it up with some pieces of american cheese for Matthew. A baby turkeyburger! It was not his favorite, but it was a new texture so we'll see how it goes next time :) 

All in all, it was a wonderful way to celebrate Labor Day and the end of summer. Can't wait to start our fall fun! 

Today's title comes from a song from the Brady Bunch movie. This could be a legit song, but when I think about it, I picture this version.
